Eric's mortal child and Godric's angel #4
Chapter 4: Sookies Story
"Eric? Last time I saw you I told you that I wanted nothing to do with vampires or any other kind of supernatural being." Sookie said a little bit shocked to see Eric stand on her porch.
"I remember, but I have someone who needs to speak to you." Eric said looking into the darkness behind him.
"Who? I'm done with sups, Eric. So if you want me to do a reading, make an appointment." Sookie said angry and wanted to slam the door in his face.
Eric stopped her by grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the house. "Listen to me, and listen good, I do not have time for your childish behaviour. I brought someone who needs to talk to you. I lost her once and I won't allow your stubbornness to make me lose her again. Am I clear?" Eric hissed.
"Who could be in such need to talk to me?" Sookie asked confused and a bit scared. 'She had never seen Eric like this. Well once when Godric was missing. He was willing to scarifies everything and everyone for his maker, but who could be so important that he would fall to such desperate measures again?' Sookie thought confused.
"That would be me." Said a singsong voice from inside the house.
"How the hell?" Sookie said stunned and glared at Eric demanding an explanation.
"Please come in Eric." The singsong voice called out.
"Hey, this is still my house you have no right to invite people in." Sookie said shocked and ran into her house behind a disappearing Eric. In her living room she saw a woman, who could not have been older than 18, sit in her couch like she owned the place. As Sookie tried to hear her thought she was met with a wall. It was like running into a stonewall, it almost hurt to try.
"Yes, sure. I'm sorry, but I'm sort of in a hurry and to be blunt the bickering between you and Eric was boring me to no end." Anna said with a small smile, wile looking at Sookie. Once she was finished with checking Sookie out she turned to Eric who stood next to her and asked: "Only one-eighth fairy? That's what you said?"
"Yes." Eric said in an emotionless voice.
Sookie looked shocked at Eric. 'How could he give her secrets away like that to someone she didn't even know.' She thought.
"I see. I can understand what appeals you in her. However I have to conclude that my mother was prettier. But then again she was a full fairy." Anna stated.
"I would of course agree with you, Anna, was it not for the matter that I have never seen her without a disguise." Eric responded respectfully.
'Was this the person he was about to lose? She was related to the Fae just like her, but if her mother was a full fairy did that mean that she was stronger, more gifted, more special, rarer then her?' Sookie thought looking the woman over. "She is pretty, that's for sure and I can't read her thoughts.'
"Of course, well back to business. Eric told me that you were there when his maker met the true death. Is that correct?" Anna asked Sookie calm.
"Yes, I promised Eric that I would stay with him no matter how long it would take." Sookie responded not understanding the importance of this.
"Good tell me what happened don't leave any part out of it." Anna ordered.
"I don't understand, why is this important to you now? It was more than a year ago." Sookie asked not understanding. "And why can't I hear your thoughts? What are you?"
"Later, now just tell me the story." Anna ordered.
Sookie looked at Eric unsure, but he just looked at her with a hard and impatient look in his eyes. So she figured it would be best to just do as she was told.
…
"The last thing he said before blue flames consumed him was: 'Forgive me Anna.', but that didn't make any sense to me." Sookie ended telling Anna what had happened on the roof of the Hotel Carmilla two years earlier.
A bloody tear escaped Anna's eye and turned into a Kristal falling into her lap. "Thank you." Anna said with a drained voice.
"Anna, are you all right?" Eric asked concerned and kneeled in front of her taking one of her hand in his.
"Wait you're Anna? The same Anna Godric spoke of?" Sookie asked.
As Sookie mentioned Godrics name, Anna fainted and fell into Eric's arms. Her wings came out and curled themselves around het body.
"Good God what just happened?" Sookie said shocked jumping out of her seat and away from Anna.
"Anna has had a few long days. Right now she's healing herself. But she'll need some bed rest." Eric said as he took het in his arms.
"Eric it's almost dawn I don't know how fast you can fly wile carrying Anna, but maybe you should think about going to ground nearby." Sookie said.
"You are right can I use the cubbyhole?" Eric asked.
Sookie looked at the angelic creature in Eric's arms and sighted. "Fine but only for today. Once she's better I want you out of my house and out of my life. And I want some answers."
"Fine." Eric hissed and disappeared in a gush of wind with Anna. After only seconds he reappeared empty-handed and asked: "So what do you want to know?"
"Who is she?" Sookie asked curious.
"She's a lot of things and I'm not allowed to tell. Besides it is her story to tell anyway." Eric said dismissive.
"Eric if she's staying here I think I have a right to know who she is."
"She is very dear to me and she meant the world and more to Godric. More I can't tell you." Eric said.
"You are lovers?" Sookie asked with a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Of course not she was my makers …" Eric said angry.
"She was your makers what?" Sookie pushed further.
"She was his mate, they were bloodbound and pledged."
"What's pledged?"
"It's similar to marriage, but more, it's internal. If one of both dies the other will follow or go insane." Eric admitted.
"Why did he meet the sun if he had her?" Sookie asked not understanding.
"She was imprisoned, I suspect that he thought that she left him." Eric said with grieve heavy in his voice.
"Imprisoned?"
"Yes, in Faery some fairy tricked her in going there and once there they captured her and imprisoned her."
"How long was she gone?" Sookie asked knowing time passed in a verry difrend way inside Faery.
"Decases." Eric stated not paying any attention to Sookies shocked face. "I can feel the sun rising I'll go down now if you don't mind."
"No, of course not. Eric you said decades are we specking about twenty years or fifty?" Sookie asked curious.
"Around one century." Eric responded without stopping his walk to the entrance of the cubbyhole.
